Rising Japanese boy group ONE OR EIGHT has released their new single “POWER” as an advance track from their upcoming mini album GATHER, due out on 28 January. Marking an exciting milestone for them, “POWER” has been selected as the Ending Theme Song 1 for the new season of the highly anticipated TV anime Yoroi-Shinden Samurai Troopers (Ronin Warriors), the group’s first-ever anime tie-up.

The anime Yoroi-Shinden Samurai Troopers (Ronin Warriors) began broadcasting and streaming on 6 January across two seasons via Crunchyroll (Southeast Asia) and DEX (Thailand).

Driven by ONE OR EIGHT’s signature vocal dynamism and emotional depth, “POWER” captures the spirit of determination and unity embodied in the anime. The track offers a soaring, energising sound that reflects the 8-member group’s expanding musical ambition ahead of their mini album GATHER.

Last December members REIA, TSUBASA and TAKERU had appeared as special guests at the anime’s advance screening event in Tokyo. 

“I’m honored POWER was chosen. We poured our strength and gratitude into this song and hope it reaches many people.” – REIA

“We’re thrilled POWER became the ending theme. Its message of lifting each other up reflects who we are as a group.” – TAKERU

“I was surprised and grateful for this tie-up. I hope POWER resonates with everyone watching.” – TSUBASA

ONE OR EIGHT’s first mini album GATHER marks a new chapter for the group, showcasing their energetic global-pop sound with powerful visuals while embodying their core message of unity and empowerment. Fans (known as 1DERZ) eagerly await the group’s next phase as GATHER arrives worldwide on 28 January. 

ONE OR EIGHT will return to Thailand for Japan Expo in Bangkok this February, before embarking on their first-ever live tour, set to kick off in March, as they continue to bring their music to audiences across new cities and stages. Tour details are available here, with more dates to be announced.
